A New Bone-Building Drink?

Well, it's pretty much the opposite of milk. A recent study published in the Journal of Science of Food and Agriculture by your college boyfriend's fraternity (kidding) found that beer was a rich source of silicon, which helps increase bone density and may help prevent osteoporosis. Pale ales contained the highest silicon content. But before you take this as a cue to sip a six-pack: the scientists just analyzed the beers, not bone mineral density, so far.
